First LST attempt

[Caligreen]

Hi,

This is my first LST attempt. Did I bend it too violently, were they large enough to start training?

Good size and good bend. Now increase the bend the next day until the tip is below or at least equal to the highest point in the middle of the stem.

I bend with one index finger on the curve, feeling the tension in the stem. I think it's easy to feel when you should be stopping.

thanks for the info!

is it ok if there is like a 90 degree bend in the stem, but its not cracked?

[Splifted]

Yeah, or more, but not like a sharp 90 degree. You don't wanna crease the stem lol. Just get the top lower than the highest point of the stem. You can check out my grow log if you wanna see the difference LST'ing makes :D

Don't mean to be too off topic but what type of grow is that.. Arn't those Some sort of hyrdorocks or what ever there called?

[Caligreen]

they are "hydroton" or something, anyway the medium is coco and perlite with some of those on top and bottom to help with drainage and airation
